Only, the Linux kernel maintainers themselves have said the new bug reports are REAL. They aren't slop. Greg said about 1/2 even come with decent patches. He was clear they still have to massage the patches (comments, cleanup) but that the majority of the work is already done.

And where does your loser ass go? Oh, this is a scam! Is Linux a scam? Because if those fucks say the AI is getting better at, not only detecting the bugs, but offering fixes for those very same bugs.. 50% is not a small number.. And it's not like it's going to get WORSE. When won't it be a scam? When it's 90% accurate?

Oh, what doesn't cause "environmental damage" to you morons? You fucks object to EVERYTHING. You know, 'tard-o, they're working on making it more power efficient. It's not like this is the final fucking iteration. You know how many MPG (or KPL) the Model-T got? Or how about the range of the first EVs? We still there?

Who gives a fuck how much power it uses, anyhow? You act like that's a commodity that is in short supply. The only reason it is, is because you fucks also object to building more power-generation capacity. We could (cleanly) generate as much power as we want.. But you fucks object to hydro (oh! the fish!) and you object to solar farms (oh the desert tortoises will have too much shade!).. You're all hypocritical fucks who claim you want to live like the Amish, yet you use PLENTY of power consuming devices / services.. Of course, I bet you don't bitch about the ones you use.

You realize the data-center that houses Slashdot uses copious amounts of power, right? Right?!?

I was just waiting for one of you commie cunts to try to spin this as a negative. Name a time in human history when it was better, asshole.

It is illegal* to ask if candidates are married.

It is illegal* to ask if candidates have children.

It is illegal* to ask if candidates live with their parents.

* In America.

BLAH BLAH BLAH.

The point I was trying to make is that the money isn't slowing down YET.

Investments are INCREASING, not decreasing. Will that day come? Probably. But it's not today

Oh please, regale us with your vast knowledge on the subject...

Worldwide investment in artificial intelligence (AI) is projected to skyrocket to $2.52 trillion in 2026, representing a 44% increase over 2025 levels.

The top five U.S. cloud and AI infrastructure providers (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle) are expected to spend over $700 billion on AI-related capital expenditure in 2026.

The EU has unveiled a €200 billion AI Action Plan, while Japan has allocated ¥1 trillion annually for AI development.

This high spending is expected to continue, with total AI spending projected to surpass $3.3 trillion in 2027.

You know fuck-all.

Not sure what your point is. Are you disputing that the raw number of newspaper titles and/or the circulation counts haven't plummeted? Circulation, today, is less than it was in 1940. We're at.. maybe... 1/3 the circulation with 3x the population..

I live in the 8th largest city in the US. We had two local newspapers until.. 10 years ago (working from memory here). Now we have one and it's a thin pile of shit that's more ads than content. And... it's $2/issue... It's like they're trying to commit suicide..

The NYT is one of the few that managed to buck the trend.. Of course, with fewer and fewer newspapers, the market consolidates..

You're an idiot. Grok solved that problem months ago.. No spicy edits to uploaded photos. PERIOD. Spicy Mode only applies to characters that Grok generates out of thin air.

I'd say "used to" in the sense that... there aren't many newspapers left... I remember there being.. maybe 10 different publishers.. NYT, LAT, The Tribune, The Union, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, (and maybe Barons if you were in a more affluent area) and then a handful of purely "local" (city/suburb) smaller papers.

How many now? 3 or 4?

That's it? And the common thinking in the USA that we can do whatever benefits us?

Weird.. We have all sorts of laws that make it criminal to do things that fuck over the citizens of whatever country you call home. Odd that we'd do that.. And that most of those laws have the.. support of the vast majority of our citizens. One small example: One of us goes over there and fucks one of your underage citizens, and after that person is done doing whatever amount of time in one of your prisons, that y'all have specified, and has been deported back here.. They're gonna do a fuck-ton more time.. Travelling abroad to engage in that activity is a serious federal crime. I'd guess that law probably has about.. 99% support..

Or is this about you fucks and your quaint little idea that there's something, somehow, immoral at the current round of geopolitics? 10,000 years of human societies, warfare, politics, and suddenly, in the last... 60 years or so, it's now unacceptable? Because a bunch of dead fucks said it was? Hey, at least he's going after fucking dictators.. primarily..

I hope you aren't' one of those hypocritical Europeans.. Actually I do.. I can have some real fun with that..

Try it, genius. Try exporting some GPU's to China. I dare you.. Try it..

You're Exhibit A for why nobody should listen to you fucking idiots.

Window-Licker.. Yeah.. there's an offensive word... Someone who licks a window.. And yet, somehow, you've done the mental gymnastics to come up with a way to be offended by it, on behalf of other people.

Someone called an Autistic person a spaz or a window-licker and to you, that simply wasn't acceptable.......

Unless you're an Autistic person or you have Down's Syndrome, sit down and shut the fuck up. Your opinion on the matter carries ZERO weight.

You aren't a member of that marginalized group. So why the fuck are you speaking for them? is it because you think they're helpless and can't speak for themselves? Is that why you elected yourself to be the Defender of the Window-Lickers and the Retards? That's a pretty severe superiority complex you got.. and it appears to be coupled with some rather strong prejudices that are fairly evident....

You know they come in degrees, right? Right, asshole? Plenty of people with Down's Syndrome out there who can operate at a reasonably high-level.. Some of 'em are even competent enough to legally wed (enter into contracts). I.e. they can tell us what they want to be called... THEY can tell us what offends them...

You egotistical, self-righteous, bitch... Where the fuck do you get off?

It's offensive to you.. It's not offensive to me. I don't care what you think of me for that... But that's why we don't fuck with speech, retard.

By the way, assclown, we haven't used that word, in common speech, to describe a person with Down's Syndrome in about three decades. And it's been 16 years since the word was removed from all official government use.

The word, itself, is a legitimate word. It has a definition and history. It means exactly what it means. "To slow or to delay" and was a perfectly goddamn good word to apply to people with Down's Syndrome, at the time. Their development was restricted, delayed, slowed-down.

But every time some asshole starts using a word in a "bad way", you fucktards take it upon yourselves to attempt to force the entirety of society to start using another word.. Which, inevitably, start's being used the same fucking way the previous word was used.

It's never-ending with you overly-sensitive retards.

Mentally Retarded -> Mentally Handicapped -> Mentally Disabled -> Mentally challenged -> Developmentally Disabled -> TO WHAT??

For fuck's sake, you idiots decided that Handicapped was "bad". Fuck the lot of you..

There are plenty of software packages that will restrict what your kids can access. And not a single effing site on the internet, that isn't based in the US, will have to follow this stupid goddamn law.

There are no minors in my household. I don't need or want your bullshit code added to my OS.

How many minors can setup a computer without their parents knowing? How about any fucking kid with $100? It's called a laptop, you clown. Used ones are super cheap on Ebay... Last one I bought was $150. And, No.. It isn't hard to install Linux anymore. No more difficult than Windows for most people.. Works pretty much the same too..

What a crock of shit. Nice fucking straw-man, loser. You think you're being clever? So anyone who opposes this shit is a closet pedo? That what you're trying to pull, bitch?
